We'll walk around pretending
We're all grown up -- hey rich girl
Well can you tell me why you're so stuck up?
When you act like you're so down
Does paranoia come around
And seize your mind?
Now roll your eyes

there's an investigation to be done
Like who's been wearing what with who?
So what's been going on?
You've got to know
You've got to know

I'll tell you everything I know
Any little thing I know
I'll tell you everything I know
Any little things I know
You've got a lovely way with words
Must be the way you see the world
Its just the way you see the world

we walk around pretending
We're all grown up -- hey rich girl
Well can you tell me why you're so stuck up?
When you act like you're so down
Does paranoia come around?
Read your mind and take your eyes
Investigation to be done
Like who's been wearing what with who?
Hey what's been going on around here?
You gotta tell me you
You got the know -- I'd like to know

I'll tell you everything I know
Any little thing I know
I'll tell you everything I know
Any little things I know
You've got a lovely way with words
Must be the way you see the world
Its just the way you see the world

oh what a lovely way with words
Is that the way you see the world?
Its just the way you see the world

I went down to your house last weekend
You said, "come on man, you don't have to point out
Everything that's bad.
So there's a broken mirror on my bed
I'll clean it up,so what?
You don't have to be such an asshole all the time."
Aww don't be like that.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
